| The Dunes of Khongoryn Els |
K
hongoryn Els are some of the largest and most
spectacular sand dunes in Mongolia.Stretching for 185 kilometres the classic dunes of
Khongorin Els sometimes called the singing dunes were
our next destination. Reaching heights over 20 metres
these are true giants.
We were all played out from the digging and getting stuck but as we approatched those dunes, they were singing. The wind makes a musical sound as it winds through the dunes. We checked into our ger camp, had a nice supper, shower, and went to bed.
Up at 5 again and climbing dunes we returned to the camp for lunch and another shower. Then it was time for an one hour camel ride and a visit with a local herding family.
The drive this afternoon took us through stunning rock canyons and on to the red sand plains. Our bush camp was out in the open with majestic views of the mountains in the distance. The sunset was fantastic.
